When you devote every minute of your life trying to prove a point to people or impress others, you work excessively hard and unconsciously put yourself under needless pressure. 

This drives me to ask you the question: Why? Why are you doing what you are doing? Who are you striving to please? Yourself or someone. You know the answer.

Mind you, I do not endorse idleness, neither do I advocate for mediocrity. But, if you are making an effort trying to prove a point to your “Supposedly rivals” by your zeal, then I think you should stop and here is why:

1. Stop because it will cause you to live a double life( fake lifestyle)
2. Stop because you will never be satisfied and never feel fulfilled.
3. Stop because it may affect your health since you are under constant validation pressure.
4. Stop because it could make you compromise your standards and values 
5. Not exhaustively, it could lead to comparison and regret.
   Dream Big, Be diligent, but focus on what truly matters to YOU, rather than what others think.

Have a thoughtful week!😊
